Well, I’m QUITE too late to weigh in usefully, but I would have gone the full-geek confession way. I’d have sought her out and said, “HOLY CRAP I just realized that when I was looking at your necklace you probably thought I was staring at your chest, and I am positively MORTIFIED that you might think that about me.”

Well, I’d like to think I would do that, but in all likelihood I would have avoided her for, oh, the rest of my life. I’m a wuss.

Oh my gosh this was awsome! I was just having a sort of similar converstation with my roommate lastnight about GP (the guy I wrote about in my church menu blog who is gorgeous). Yesterday I was coming out of our complex gym at the same time he was driving toward me on his way home. Do you think I could even look at him? Nope, not even through a car window. And forget the simple gesture of a wave. I totally panicked and fiddled with my ipod instead!!??!! I’m not so delusional that I think he would fall madly in love with me but I would prefer he didn’t think of me as that wierd, unfriendly, snob with potential goth/emo “I hate the world” tendencies girl. Sheesh. Sorry, I have no advice for you but if you figure something out PLEASE let me know LOL!!

i would suggest not doing anything at all that you plan ahead. it will just make you more nervous and you will seem unnatural. i’ve never had a straight man compliment my jewelry. act like nothing happened, she might not have even thought twice about it.

come to think of it, she was probably feeling silly too for making small talk about diet dr. pepper…

I agree with Saint as well. It really is a two birds with one stone scenario if you toss out a compliment on jewelry while simultaneously explaining my your eyes were there.

I agree with Saint on the above comment…but also, wanted to reassure you, women don’t normally discuss that kind of thing in the ladies room…in the break room maybe…just kidding…seriously, though, next time you see her just make sure your eyes stay up.

You’ve gotten yourself into quite the predicament haven’t you? But it looks like Pammy has filled you in on the best possible recovery so I don’t need to say more! I wanted to stop in and say Hello and Thank you for the deadcharming comment you left on my! :)

Ya…good luck with that!
No, I really wish ya the best of luck. The only thing harder (no pun intended) is telling some one their fly is down.
I’m just visiting from 2 Lazy Dogs place I saw a comment and had to follow the interesting name. Great writing style…I’ll be back to read more someday!

I love it, just love it! I am the woman who gets men trapped in my boob zone and it’s the worst. Thanks to this post, I’m realizing that maybe it’s not intentional and not all men are huge pervs.

Don’t go out of your way to track her down, just to give her a compliment… she’ll think you’re THAT GUY. Make sure she sees you engaged in a conversation with someone else and THEN saunter (yes, saunter) over to her and say something witty but do NOT talk to her boobs. Make your comment short and sweet and then exit. Say hello to her and make eye contact next time you see her. Always and always make eye contact. Once you move past the awkward co-worker stage and then out of the Friend Zone and into a dating situation, it’s possible that you could make a few unnoticed glances down south but we’re pretty perceptive so that’s highly unlikely.

Have fun with that.

If you can run into her again soon, tell her “That is a very pretty necklace; I noticed it earlier in the breakroom and meant to tell you.” You work in the compliment while telling her that you weren’t staring at her chest without actually having to say it. Good luck!!!
